We integrate proactive exposure and risk management throughout the pre-deployment phases of your project to ensure security is foundational from the outset. By identifying and mitigating risks early, we help teams build resilient solutions that align with business objectives and regulatory expectations before systems go live.
Our services focus on:
- Early Risk Identification & Threat Modelling
Evaluating potential threats, attack surfaces, and business impacts during planning and design using frameworks such as STRIDE or MITRE ATT&CK. - Security Requirements Definition
Translating identified risks into clear, actionable security requirements embedded into design specifications. - Pre-Deployment Risk Assessments
Conducting structured risk reviews across architecture, technology stacks, and third-party integrations to surface hidden exposures. - Control Design & Selection
Recommending appropriate preventative and detective controls to address identified risks and ensure compliance with standards like ISO 27001, NIST, and Essential Eight. - Security Design Review
Validating that proposed designs incorporate security best practices and align with your risk tolerance and compliance needs. - Risk Mitigation Planning and Implementation
This involves proactively collaborating with delivery teams to identify, document, and prioritise potential risks and corresponding mitigation actions before deployment. The process balances agility with assurance by ensuring that risks are addressed without creating unnecessary delivery delays.
Implementation:
-
- Risk Identification & Assessment – Facilitate structured workshops or reviews with delivery teams to capture potential technical, operational, and compliance risks early in the lifecycle.
- Prioritisation – Evaluate risks based on likelihood and impact, then agree on priority levels using frameworks such as risk matrices.
- Mitigation Planning – Define clear, actionable mitigation strategies (e.g., additional testing, contingency resources, security safeguards) and assign ownership for each action.
- Integration with Delivery Plan – Embed mitigation tasks into sprint backlogs, release plans, or project schedules to ensure timely execution.
- Monitoring & Review – Track mitigation progress through regular stand-ups, retrospectives, or risk review meetings. Update plans dynamically as risks evolve.
- Deployment Readiness Check – Validate that critical mitigation actions have been completed before go-live, ensuring residual risk is acceptable.
